OpenBSD's
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd&amp;sektion=8">spamd(8)</a>
is a SPAM deferral daemon which rejects false mail in a very efficient way.
<br>
A variety of databases exist here which can be specified in the
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd.conf&amp;sektion=5">/etc/mail/spamd.conf</a>
file, and loaded using
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd-setup&amp;sektion=8">spamd-setup(8)</a>.

The University of Alberta runs a large spamd install in front of their
main MX's, and perform extensive greytrapping of hosts that mail to
invalid users while on the greylist. Hosts are removed 24 hours after
they get trapped.

<font color="#a00000">
"Because these two countries have the chronic and pervasive practice
of a) providing a safe haven for their own spammers; b) providing a
safe haven for U.S. spammers; c) hosting mail servers which are open
relays or proxies; d) being either too ignorant and/or lazy to secure
those servers; and most importantly, e) almost never responding to or
addressing abuse complaints (in the rare event their abuse reporting
addresses even work); I decided to block all email from China and
Korea altogether. So, in April 2002, I started compiling lists of all
net blocks assigned to Korea and China to be used to that end."</font>
